Lorena Escolero

I'm an urban planning and community development practitioner with over 4 years of experience championing inclusive growth, equitable community development and economic mobility and empowerment in diverse, urban communities.

I am particularly eager to work with practitioners committed to improve economic opportunity, housing justice, and/or equitable wealth creation in socioeconomically diverse, immigrant gateway, and/or demographically transitioning neighborhoods and cities.

My experience in the public sectors includes: long-term strategic planning, partnership and capacity building, grant writing, strategic communications and public engagement, cross-functional project management, federal grant management, and program design and delivery.

Master of Science in Urban Planning from Northeastern University (2022)
